Machine Learning with R
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that deals with neural networks containing more than one layer. In R, the keras
package provides an interface to the Keras deep learning library, allowing you to design, train, evaluate, and optimize deep neural network models. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of using deep learning with keras
in R.
First, you need to install and load the keras
package.
install.packages("keras") library(keras)
Before using keras
, you'll need to install TensorFlow, the backend engine for Keras. You can do this easily:
install_keras()
For demonstration purposes, we'll use the MNIST dataset, which contains 28x28 pixel images of handwritten digits.
mnist <- dataset_mnist() x_train <- mnist$train$x y_train <- mnist$train$y x_test <- mnist$test$x y_test <- mnist$test$y
Before training, it's crucial to preprocess the data:
# Reshape the data x_train <- array_reshape(x_train, c(nrow(x_train), 28*28)) x_test <- array_reshape(x_test, c(nrow(x_test), 28*28)) # Normalize the data x_train <- x_train / 255 x_test <- x_test / 255 # Convert labels to categorical y_train <- to_categorical(y_train, 10) y_test <- to_categorical(y_test, 10)
Now, let's create a simple feedforward neural network model:
model <- keras_model_sequential() %>% layer_dense(units = 256, activation = 'relu', input_shape = c(28*28)) %>% layer_dropout(rate = 0.4) %>% layer_dense(units = 128, activation = 'relu') %>% layer_dropout(rate = 0.3) %>% layer_dense(units = 10, activation = 'softmax') # Compile the model model %>% compile( loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', optimizer = optimizer_rmsprop(), metrics = c('accuracy') )
With the model compiled, it's time to train it:
history <- model %>% fit( x_train, y_train, epochs = 10, batch_size = 128, validation_split = 0.2 )
After training, you can evaluate the model's performance on the test data:
scores <- model %>% evaluate(x_test, y_test, batch_size = 128) cat('Test loss:', scores[[1]], "\n") cat('Test accuracy:', scores[[2]], "\n")
To predict classes for new data:
predictions <- model %>% predict_classes(x_test)
This tutorial provides a basic introduction to deep learning in R using the keras
package. While we only scratched the surface of what's possible with deep learning, this should give you a foundation to start building more complex models. Always remember to preprocess your data, choose an appropriate model architecture for your problem, and evaluate your model's performance on unseen data.
